LET IT'S HAVE GAS,

The Journal is in receipt of letter from
gentleman in Pittsburg, Pa, saying that he
represents parties desiring to locate and erect
a large table glassware manufacturing estab
lshment somewhere in this State, and asking
information as to the towns and cities having
natural gas and good railroad facilities. Indi-
annapolis has the railroad facilities and they
are better than those of any city either in the
State or out of it, but Indianapolis has, as
yet, no natural gas The reason that Indian
apolis has natural gas is because the City
Council and Aldermen have not, and possibly
may not, pass an ordinance liberal enough to
induce capital to bring it into the city. To
keep abreast of the times, Indianapolis must
have natural gas, and to get it the city author
tiles must pass a liberal ordinance permitting
the of the streets to any and all COM
panies, domestic or foreign, that have the
money and inclination to bring it. The Jour
nal has no interest in any foreign company,
and it has prejudice against any foreign
company. What the Journal wants, and
what the Journal has always advocated, is an
open ordinance guarding the protection of the
streets and private property, free to any and
all companies who want to come. OF course,
the company that starts first will have the
advantage in the race, but if the ordinance
will permit any and all companies that will
give bond 10 keep in repair the streets and to
make their pipes of the best and safest ma
terial, competition win regulate the price and
cost to the consumer. The ordinance should
have the proper guards and protective clauses
requiring prompt and safe service to the peo-
ple rather than too low limit as to price.
We have coal and coke and artificial gas
already with us, and natural gas has to enter
the field with these competitors already here.
Let us have gas.

THE CABLE ROAD.

The question is frequently asked, 'Does
the new cable-road company mean business9"
From the best information the Journal can
obtain it feels justified in saying quite conf
IDENTIFY that they do mean business in other
words that they have not asked for fran
chise for the purpose of specializing on it or
trifing with it any way, but with the inten-
ton of building and operating a system of ca
BILE roads, and of commencing and completing
the work as practicable. The charac-
ter of the gentlemen engaged in the enter
prise and their assurances on the subject pre-
faith. Colonel Dudley, the principal protector
was a former resident of the city, and is we'll
known here. 1t is not believed he would trihe
with the confidence of the people in COM
munity where he has many friends. A por-
ton of the stock will be placed here, and some
of those who have already subscribed are
among our best citizens. 1t is fair to assume,
therefore, that the enterprise IS organized in
good faith and that the company will carry
.out all its contracts. They may not immedi-
ately occupy all the streets whose use has
been granted them, but as far and as fast as
they occupy any it will be gain to the city
in every way, introducing a new element Of
life and business, increasing the facilities of
polling the present company to improve their
facilities and give the public better service.
The objection raised by some that there is no
room for cable company, no money in it,
etc, has no force. No person is obliged to put
money in the enterprise, and those who do
not cannot lose any. 1t is understood the
originators of it have plenty of money, and if

WOULD it not be most appropriate topic for
consideration at the bankers meeting whether
commercial banks have any business to loan
commercial funds in aid of speculative opera
tons? 1t may be agreed that in many cases the
bank officers cannot know how money loaned is
to be used. But when they do know, is it not
exceedingly clear that their duty to the COM
munity. and to depositors and stockholders ought
to prevent such loans?-New York Tribune.

Robertson and Turpie.


The Lieutenant governor of Indiana, Mr..
Robert S. Robei tson officio member OF
the board of equalization" of taxes in the
Hoosier commonwealth. and is now sitting as
chairman of that body. This fact moves a ridcu-
lous party organ at Indianapolis to repeat tho
stale remark that ''this person." meaning Mr..
Robertson, twas never elected Lieutenant gov
eruor," etc.
Seeing that this sapient obiter dictum OF the
organ raises question of the least Importance
to any of the inhabitants of this world excepting
Mr.. David Turpie, ii is not worth while to point
out its It may be remarked. however in
a casual way, that if the ridiculous party organ
at Indianapolis should wish to preserve some
little correspondence between it's emissions OF
opinion and the facts they will be conclusively
established six months forward. the better way
would be to adopt the Hendricks plan ara plant
one of the organic legs a horse going in the
opposite direction.
If Mr. Turpies chance 70 get a seat in the
Senate were only half as good as Mr. Robertsons
title to the perfnnctory Office of Leutenant-
governor, he would be much happier Indiana
politician than he is.

IT now appears that the flags captured
from the Virginia regiments belonging to
Fitzhugh Lees command are missing from
the War Department, and there are reasons
for believing that they were restored to their
original owners before the publication of
General Drums order. As Governor Lee has
explicitly stated, since the issuing of that
flags it remains to be seen whether he is as
good as his word-a fact that can be demon
strated only by prompt return of the '1rebel
rags" to the place where they belong by law
and right.

THE END oP A MONOPOLY.

At last day of reckoning has come for the
Citizens Street-railway Company. For years
past it has been carrying things with high
hand, lording it over the city and people. de-,
flying public opinion and city ordinances and
exercising all the airs of an insolent, overbear-
ing monopoly. Perhaps the management now
see where they made a mistake. They
thought they owned the Council, and could do
as they pleased. That was true for good
while, but it is true no longer. Such things
always work their own cure, and sometimes
the end comes suddenly and unexpectedly. 1t
back If the Johnsons had shown more tact,
something of disposition to conciliate and
compromise, and less of the bulldozing and de-
fiant disposition, they might have had things
their own way good while yet. Had they
been willing to meet the demands of the pub
lie, even half way, and make their system con-
form in some degree to the progress of the
times, they might have continued masters of
the situation for good while to come. But
they chose to adopt hoggish and defiant pol
ICY and to lay up wrath against the day of
wrath until their fine castle of monopoly has
come tumbling about their They still
have good property, but the days of their
monopoly are numbered. They have had the
city by the throat for long time now the city
has taken them by the throat. They still
have valuable franchise, but they no longer
own the city.

CONGRESSMAN HOLMAN is oppressed with
painful doubts as to the success of his party
in Indiana next year. The labor question is
what is troubling him. Nobody" he says,
"can foretell what influence it will have. In
spite of the discussions and differences among
the labor organizations they may unite on
national ticket, and then It will remain to be
seen whether they hurt the Republican or
Democratic party the more" Evidently Mr..
Holman fears the worst, for he adds:
eff they draw heavier from the Republic
ans, so much the better for US; but they may
cut the deeper into vote. It is a move
ment that renders me uneasy. I think, my
self, that the Democratic party is in good
shape and the administration is strong with
the people because it is honest and sincere in
guarding the peoples interests; but this labor
movement may upset all sorts of calculations"
When the Hoosier Democrat considers this
movement and also reflects upon the unpopu-
larity in his State of Mr.. Cleveland, the next
nominee for the presidency, the party outlook
for '68 must seem a very gloomy to him.
